Project Description:

Our goal is to increase awareness, and educate Adventure Canada's clients, on the wildlife of the Canadian Arctic. We have achieved this by cautiously viewing in the field that is monitored and inerpreted by our experienced guides.
The purpose for our stop is to provide educational travel for Adventure Canada clients. To provide clients with the opporunity to view wildlife in a manner that is respectful, educational and supervised by appropriate guides. Guides on-site will assist in the interpretation of the wildlife we encounter.
At each of the sites listed in Section 3 of this application, clients will be transferred from our ship- Ocean Endeavour - into Zodiacs with 10 people in each Zodiac with an average of 20 Zodiacs in the water at one time. Each cruise will last approx. one hour. We will comply with the Guidelines for Seabird Colony Viewing for Cruise Ships set out by Environment Canada as well as the Canadian Wildlife Service Guidelines for Visiting Colonies. We will comply with Federal regulations for whale wathcing as well as any recommendations given by the HTO and communities we have contacted regarding our planned stops.
